Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Brennan]

It all trickles down Dave. And if the protocol tells you that you should only test in specific circumstances that will be the advice.

Regardless, I'm not really sure why it would be Dr's and nurses giving that advice in a hospital setting. They would be conducting tests based on clinical merit and the rest of circumstances would go through 111, GP or online platform - in which case you'd be told not to get one unless you've got symptoms.

He’s just trying to deflect from the fact he was caught in another lie, stating the BBC are giving out propaganda about not getting tested because you’ve probably got a cold which is simply untrue.

The comment made was that NHS staff if asked by patients are giving the advice that testing is not recommended unless you exhibit one of the three common Covid symptoms. Nobody is telling anybody they must not get a test at all when not in that bracket.

Im some hospitals nurses are having to book in patients themselves over the phone for clinics currently. A frequent question they have been asking is if they should come in to the hospital without having a test first.

The chickens are well and truly starting to come home for this shambolic government.

They couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery!

We can’t have a second lockdown.

I’m starting to feel the mental health implications as well as people around me.

Applying a lifting regional restrictions is the way to go for me.

Think a second lockdown could be quite disastrous for a lot of people.

Same and id work regardless, even if it was lockdown, i would have to...

money comes before the sniffles

Well exactly. Which goes to the heart of this (particular) matter and exchange with a 'certain' other poster).

It was a BS claim in the first instance.

Not really as Cummings who should have been at the piss up would have travelled back to Durham in the dead of night to sneak into a locked down area just for the adrenaline rush.

“No more lockdown / No more government overreach / No more fascist bullies / Disturbing our peace …
No more taking of our freedom / And our God-given rights / Pretending it’s for our safety / When it’s really to enslave …”

Bit unfair on Liam, it was Noel who was wanging on about it.

Was gutted about Ian Brown though - never meet your heroes, or follow them on Twitter.

Oh I'm doing better things right now than you'll ever be able to do.

Look, you made a sweeping balls on the table statement about "NHS staff" telling people to not get tested if they weren't symptomtaic, and now you've had to walk it back.

I think that about covers this exchange.
